The Mailman and The Strongman
By Dr. John Smith
Jamie walked up the stares of the temple, his daily routine of delivering Steven mail. As he knocked on the door, he heard the warp pad activate, assuming it was Garnet or Pearl, he knocked again. The door opened to reveal a Gem he had never seen before; a big orange woman with darker orange streaks running across her body, and long white hair. It struck him odd that her Gem was her nose, she glared down to him. "Yeah?" She asked. Towing over him.
Jamie struggled to talk, "Is Steven here?" Jamie finally managed to choke out.
The orange woman gave it some thought, "No. He's at his friend Connie's." She said, turning away, Jamie let out another small sound, "What is it now?" She barked.
"Can you give these to him?" Jamie asked, handing a few letters to her. She snatched them and slammed the door. Jamie walked back onto the beach, when he heard the woman's voice ring out, "You should work on talking louder! Otherwise everyone'll walk all over you!" Jamie nodded and continued walking.
Back in the temple Jasper heard heard the door open, seeing Pearl on a cellphone. A while after Jasper, Lapis, and Peridot joined the Gems, Steven suggested cellphones to keep in contact. She had been talking to some scientist she met while her and Steven were at Fish Stew Pizza one day. "I'm telling you Dr. Jekyll, the creature files I sent you are made from corrupted Gems. I if I can, I'll send you a sample." Pearl blubbered on to the guy on the side of the phone. Pearl glanced up to Jasper, "Yes?"
"Mail for Steven." Jasper said, placing the letters on the counter. She grabbed a bag of chips and plopped on the couch, turning on the TV. Pearl rolled her eyes, "Now you said you were sending samples of your friend Lawrence's hair? I'm not sure how you described his condition is even possible." Her talking continued until she re entered her room. Jasper let out a sigh of relief, "Finally." She said as she shoved a handful of chips in her mouth. A knock was heard at the door, Jasper letting out a groan and answering it. It was Jamie again, "What do you want now?"
Jamie cleared his throat, and handed her a package, "For Pearl." Jamie said, Jasper took the box when a called out "Hey! I need a signature." He said as he held out the signing pad. Jasper took the pen and signed it, "Thank you."
Jasper patted him on the head, "Go away kid." She slammed he door. Jamie felt a blush creep across his face, it was like when he met Garnet, but it felt stronger. In the temple Jasper was tearing her hair out, "What is with that little twerp!" She shouted, "He shows up every day! What is wrong with me?" She turned on the TV, hoping to get Jamie out of her mind. It wasn't working.
